Well I'm going to make tea now...
Cannot, as yet, find a way to load a jpeg directly to a newly created layer. Will try again later as all I can currently do is load a jpg file to a totally new document. Also cannot suss out javascript's variables enough to make the filename work from a string so currently testing it with filename coming from a dialog!
Anyway the newest version has adjustable boarders as requested (I will fix the centering on text within them after I have fixed this latest thing which is giving me a headache.......)
Come back PASCAL all is forgiven
This is the current position but it does not as yet work, please note there are lots of commented out statements etc as I am having to work out a lot of the javascript stuff using trial and error!
